Summary

North Korean soldiers supporting Russia in its war with Ukraine are reportedly using suicide tactics to avoid capture, as seen in a recent incident where a soldier detonated a grenade during a Ukrainian operation.

Ukraine claims North Korea has deployed 11,000 troops, with over 3,000 killed or injured.

Defectors and analysts suggest these soldiers are brainwashed into sacrificing themselves for Kim Jong Un and fear being labeled traitors if captured.

Kyiv has offered to exchange captured North Korean soldiers for Ukrainians held in Russia.

Experts warn this deployment may enhance North Korea's future military capabilities.
